2015 SEASON PREVIEW
WORLD SUPERBIKE
T
he FIM Superbike World
Championship may not be
quite the full re-invention
many thought it might become
in 2015. And as the first ritual to
the gods of speed is now upon
us with the upcoming season
opener at Phillip Island, the
revamped version looks to be all
thriller, no filler.
Some people still (bizarrely)
disrespect or dismiss the second
biggest road race championship
in the world, this year or any other.
In 2015, however, World Super-
bike is in fighting mood, with more
riders than ever fancying their
chances and eight manufactur-
ers engaged with the support of
factory efforts. And even the odd
Yamaha wildcard should make it a
fine nine at some races.
